Sunday's Fiesta at JR's and meeting BajaCactus & Jesse was Great!
First off, I was holding back mentioning our little party hoping I could figure out the digital camera I got yesterday, so I could have photos with
this post. When I figure out how to get the camera and pc to talk to each other, I will get them on line right way. JR took some photos, so he can
show those, I hope.
The Fiesta: Our new amigo 'BajaCactus' (Antonio) invited a few of us to a family picnic so we could meet. What a feast it was, too! Antonio came with
his wife, parents, family friend and his brother-in-law (a superb chef). JR offered his beautiful ocean view home for the location, and I came with
Baja Nomad (Doug) and his family. Baja Bernie was there as was Jesse and his girlfriend. I will have all the names when I get the photos on line.
This was the first time Doug or I had met Antonio and Jesse, and we were very much impressed with the muy grande amigo greeting we received. It was a
wonderful day of exchanging thoughts and great food (mussels, carne asada, shrimp, nopales, chorizo, and more great food) and Mexican beer (including
Mexicali, Tijuana, Tecate, Pacifico, Carta Blanca...).
I believe this was a beginning and a great cross-border meeting of Nomads with the future of Baja travel and mutual benefits in mind.
The Bajo California Movie Party will be a coming event and a future Baja Nomad fiesta in Baja was discussed.
I am going back to working on getting the many photos from Yesterday online... So, I invite JR, BERNIE, JESSE, BAJACACTUS, or DOUG to add their
comments...

JR, did you get any closeups of the people? Antonio and Jesse have not been 'seen' by the Nomads... I have many closeups, and Doug is trying to help
me with this camera. I can sure see the food made a big impression, however!
Yes, it was good!
The 2nd photo above of the open van's back end shows Doug and Antonio talking while I am sitting in Bernie's van with Bernie. Under the umbrella is
Antonio's brother in law, Hector.. the master chef!

David, get a card reader(what kind of memory does your camera use?), it is a whole lot easier and faster than using the camera's software. I got one
that reads 8 different kinds of cards for I think less than $30 at CostCo. What kind of camera did you get?

Card readers are the way to go...
David, you can get em' at all the chain electronic stores...Best Buy, Good Guys, Wal-Mart, Target, etc...they are quite cheap. Most will read several
sizes of camera memory cards, make sure it will read the one from your camera...if you take your card reader with you, you can load pic's from your
camera to a friends PC, quite easily, when traveling, etc.
Also, I noticed that Wal-mart was selling several memory cards really cheap last week...depending on which card you have, you can get another with
more memory for more photos, and keep your original as a back-up...
Save your pocket change in a cookie jar so you'll be able to up-grade to one of the new SLR (single lens reflex) digital cameras that are now on the
market...with more to follow, and prices will no doubt be dropping - these new SLR's handle just like their 35mm film cousins - the shutter 'snaps'
and captures the picture when you hit the button - no delay, as many of the cheaper digital cameras are want to do...and you'll be taking pic's like
the pros!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Oh man! I didn't get invited. I am soooo hurt.   OK, not
really.
That's some weird shiiiiiite right there. And, no, I'm not a wife beating misogynist. I am somewhat of a loner, though, so I can appreciate an
intimite gathering among friends.
Looks like it was a good time.
